Philippians Chapter 3 Verse 2

Interpretation of Philippians Chapter 3 Verse 2

In Philippians 3:2, Paul is warning his readers against three things: the “dogs”, the “evil workers”, and the “concision”. The “dogs” are likely a reference to Judaizers, those who sought to impose Jewish law and customs on Gentile believers. The “evil workers” are those who are promoting false teachings. Finally, the “concision” is likely a reference to the Jewish practice of circumcision, which Paul is warning against as a means of salvation. Ultimately, Paul is warning the readers to be careful of those who are seeking to lead them astray from the truth of the gospel.
